China's decades-long efforts to curb desertification have paid off, with wind erosion across the country's eight major deserts and four major sandy lands declining by about 40% since 2000.
During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021–2025), China rehabilitated 10.1 million hectares of sandy land, marking concrete progress in combating desertification. #
